Water conservation behavior in Australia

Journal of Environmental Management, 2012
Ensuring a nation's long term water supply requires the use of both supply-sided approaches such as water augmentation through water recycling, and demand-sided approaches such as water conservation. Conservation behavior can only be increased if the key drivers of such behavior are understood. The aim of this study is to reveal the main drivers from a

Modified plant architecture integrated with liquid fertilizers improves fruit productivity and quality of tomato in North West Himalaya, India

Scientific Reports, 2021
India produces around 19.0 million tonnes of tomatoes annually, which is insufficient to meet the ever-increasing demand. A big gap of tomato productivity (72.14 t ha–1) between India (24.66 t ha–1) and the USA (96.8 t ha–1) exist, which can be bridged ...

The potential risk of combined effects of water and tillage erosion on the agricultural landscape in Czechia

Journal of Maps, 2021
Tillage erosion is considered a major contributor to total soil erosion besides water erosion. However, tillage erosion has been neglected in Czechia. Therefore, our main goal was to analyse and compare the effect of tillage erosion with that of water ...

Rooting behaviour and soil properties in different bamboo species of Western Himalayan Foothills, India

Scientific Reports, 2020
Due to extensive root system, connected rhizome bamboos are considered suitable for improving soil properties within a short period, though most of the claims are anecdotal and need to be supported with quantified data.

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of NDVI and Its Influencing Factors Based on the ESTARFM in the Loess Plateau of China

Remote Sensing, 2023
The Loess Plateau is ecologically vulnerable. Vegetation is the key factor in ecological improvement. The study of the distribution patterns of vegetation and its impact factors has important guiding meaning for ecological construction in the region. The
